A PianO Recital.

The pianoforte recital by Professor
Frank Loui King attracted select au-
dience to the First Presbyterian
church last evening. The programme
provided consisted of selections from
the old masters, and the efforts of the
performers received the appreciation
they deserved. Professor King rem
dered extracts from Chopin, Bectho-
ven, Field, Mendelssohn, Handel and
Liszt in a MANNER which proves
that the great reputation he
has achieved as a pianist
is fully deserved. He interspersed
his playing with descriptions of the
influences under which the pieces
were written, and narrated some very
interesting incidents connected with
the lives of Chopin and Beethoven.
Misses Minnie Hance and Leila Breed
rendered valuable assistance to the
entertainment by their charming vo
calization, and in the duetto "Come
Mallika," from Delibe's Lakme
proved how thorough has been theil
musical training. Miss Minnie Hanc,
also, gave Donizetti's go milo Fer
nando," and "The Crown of Sorrow
and original composition by Professo
King, and Miss Breed charmed all b.
her rendition of Meyerbeer's "Ro
berto," from the opera OF Robert ]

THE MECHANICS FAIR.
Los Angeles Should Make "A Splen-
did Display.

At three o'clock this afternoon the
committee appointed to prepare for an
exhibit of Los Angeles county pro-
ducts at the Mechanics Fair at San
Francisco will have a meeting in the
Board of Trade roVms. The commit
tee consists of Messrs. II. A. Unruh.
Eugene German, j. Downey Harvey
and H. w. Patton. 1t is very import
ant that Los Angeles should be repre-
sented at this fair. Many people dur
ing the months of September and Oc-
tober come to California by the north
ern route and see San Francisco first.
If they visit this magnificent Mechan-
ics' Fair and fail to observe an exhibit
from Los Angeles they will conclude
that some untrue tales have been told
about our imperial section. A starter
has been effected by f. j. Baldwin
agreeing to make a splendid display
of wines and brandies. Mr.. Unruh
will lay out in miniature booming
Southern California town--Arcadia-
in order to let strangers see how new
towns are started in this section. All
should take an interest in the exhibit
at the Mechanics Fair and try to
place Los Angeles in the front rank.
1t won't do to have any of the north
ern towns make better display. 1t
is to be hoped that the committee will
do its duty and at to-day's meeting
formulate plan for the coming exhi-
bition,

TWO SMASHES.
Trains Fail to Pass Each other
on the Same Track.

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
System seemed to have met with a
streak of bad luck yesterday. In the
first p ace the day started with the
demolition of pullman car in the
yard, and secondly it ended with
collision between two passenger trains
at East Los Angeles. The first acci-
dent was caused by switch engine
which ran into the Pullman car and
smashed it pretty badly. The most
serious mishap, however, was the col
lision of two San Diego passenger
trains in East Los Angeles. 1t ap-
pears that the west bound train was
about an hour late and the East
bound train started on time. From
the statements of those who were con-
nected with the trains it appears that
there was a misunderstanding as to
the orders. Those in charge of the
West bound train probably under
stood that the out going train would
wait for their arrival here, while those
on the East bound train imagined that
the other train was sidetracked at some
point south of here. The consequence
was that just as one train had rounded
the curve in East Los Angeles, about
mile and quarter from the Downey
avenue bridge, it ran into
the other proceeding in IN op-
posite direction on the same
track. Owing to the curve there was
no possibility of the engineers catch
ing sight OF each others trains until it
was too late to prevent the accident.
As it was, the trains had slowed up
considerably, and the engineers
jumped in time to escape injury. The
passengers escaped with a severe
shaking up and few bruises, and the
only injury to the trains was to the
locomotives, which were stove up
pretty badly. A wrecking train went
out to the scene last night, and the
track will be cleared this morning, so
that the traffic will be resumed.

THE POSTOFFICE.
COnsu ItatiOn of the inspectors
with the Board of Trade.

There was an informal meeting yes
terday afternoon between the direct
ors of the Board of Trade and Messrs.
r. r. Munroe and w. r. Spight, Post
office Inspectors, who are visiting this
country with a view of making rec
concentrations for a better postal serv-
ice where needed. The conversation
was directed to the inefficiency of the
service in the past and the manner in
which the present population of Los
Angeles might be proven to be 10000
to the satisfaction of Postmaster Cen
eral Villas. There was some doubt in
Mr.. Munroe's mind as to whether Mr..
Villas would accept the statement that
there are 10000 people here with
out some other evidence, such
as recent census. Mr.. Law
renee and Mr.. Germain said that
if it were found necessary to prove the
population by census it could be
done in very short time by the
spending of from $500 to $500, and
this would be done if required. Mr..
Preuss explained to those present the
hardships which his clerks were
forced to undergo and said that he
was afraid that unless something were
done, some relief given, they would
resign. He also stated that although
the government obtains the building
for rental of $1.00 per month, yet it
will not pay the water bills, nor does
it allow sufficient to cover the gas
bills. The inspectors admitted that
there was a great need for relief and
would recommend the same when
they reported. They thought that
their recommendation would be
adopted and that the relief should
date from the present time. AT any
rate they thought that there would be
a change for the better before the first
of January. They would do all in
their power to forward the interests of
better service here, and Mr.. Redick
said that if relief was given they would
be remembered in the future and if
not they would be remembered any
how,

.IMGge Field.

Hon. Stephen j. Field, Justice oi
the Supreme Court of the United
States, is stopping in Los Angeles fol
a few days, his business here being to
sit with Judge Ross in the Circuit
| Court.
A representative of the HERALD saw
the distinguished gentleman at the
Nadeau House last night. Having had
the pleasure of slight acquaintance
with the Judge some seven or eight
years ago, our representative was
pleased to note that advanc-
ing years have dealt lightly
with him. His eye retains
its old fire, his voice its old ring and
his conversational powers their old
time pre-eminence. This eminent
jurist belongs to one of the most nota-
BILE families which have figured on the
American continent, embracing in its
present living membership a famous
divine and editor, in the person OF
Henry NJ. Field, the rival and
compeer of Charles O'Conor
at the bar, in the per-
son of David Dudley Field, the
famous financier and inventor Cyrus
w. Field, and last, but by no means
least of the brothers, the Judge him.
self, who is conceded by the bench
and bar of the United States to have
had few equals and no superior in our
judicial annals. The Judge, like his
world-famed brothers, is man of
striking personnel, his face and head
bespeaking force and intellect.
Although an old Californian, this is
Judge Fields first visit to Los Ange-
les. lie has been greatly pleased with
this section, and to-day goes out to
Pasadena to inspect the San Gabriel
valley.
In a conversation of some duration,
the Judge delighted number OF gem
tlemen with "reminiscences OF old
days. No man has been more thor
oughly identified with the early de-
velopment of California than he.
His hand, in the early days, penned
many of the most beneficial laws which
figure in the statutes of California.
The scheme OF mining laws formed by
him has been adopted by other States
and embodied in the laws of Congress.
He is the author of the provisions OF
the Code of California limiting the
seizures for debt and extending the
homestead exemption to So 900, meas
ures fraught with untold good to the
poor and suffering.
Our illustrious visitor will go down
to history as the man who threw the
mgis of the Constitution of the United
States over the PROSTATE States OF
the South during the memorable
era of reconstruction, period during
which usurpations, executive and
Congressional, scarcely knew any
limit. His luminous decisions on
many controverted points have en-
tered into the very fibers OF our judi.
cial system, and have been illustrated
| by scholarship and sagacity OF the
highest order.
His many friends and admirers in
Los Angeles will hail with p easure
his recurring visits to this city.l

A Review sof the Days TRANSACT

New YORK, August 9.-The stock market
to-day was dull, with a generally sagging
tendency which developed into decided
weakness ON spot, but the temper OF the
speculation changed for the better before
the close, and the outcome of the days
transactions was encouraging to the bulls.
The waiting tendency was more pronounced
and the dealings, even more than yesterday,
were of purely professional character.
There were no developments in telegraph
matters but the Ives Cincinnati Hamilton
and Dayton affair assumed more favorable
aspect late in the day, to which the market
quickly responded. The great majority of

The First Lecture.

On next Friday evening Mrs
Lockwood will open the series of
lectures in the Town Hall, which has
been provided for the entertainment
of our people by a public spirited
committee. These lectures should
be patronized by full houses every
evening. The community in whose
keeping the direction of society and
the shaping of the intellectual and
moral bent of the rising generation
is placed, owe it as public duty to
encourage, by every means in their
power attendance on these lectures.
A course of such lectures on the
mind and thought of the community
for future usefulness cannot readily
be estimated To cultivate o taste
for a higher and more refined educa-
ton amounts to a general lifting up
of society, and placing it on plane
where many of its present low grades
of amusements and crude customs
can find no place. Some sacrifice of
time and convenience should be
made by representative members of
thecommunity to have this course of
lectures we'll pat-onized in order to
por ularize higher grade of educa.
ton than obtains among a large
class of citizens.
